Problems Linking prims.o in libjava

In the future please direct GCJ questions to java@gcc.gnu.org

Wow, I thought we were the only ones crazy enough to try something like 
that.

For some reason you don't have the proper glibc header files installed 
in your sysroot.  sys/ucontext.h and bits.sigcontext.h are likely incorrect.

I would recommend the instructions found here:

http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/mips/

for bootstrapping a cross-compiler.  For gcj/libgcj I would recommend 
binutils 2.18 or later and the latest GCC 4.2.x or 4.3.x.  I have been 
using glibc 2.6.1 and 2.7
